Updated January 2, 2005

I've been researching my family for about 10 years.The MacGregors came from Perth, Scotland in 1857.George MacGregor married Charlotte Noble (descendant of Wisconsin pioneer Ezekiel Tainter, Revolutionary War Veteran Stephen Tainter, and Mayflower Descendants (John Houghland and the Tilleys).Their daughter, Ellen MacGregor, wrote some of the first science fiction for children in the Miss Pickerell series.The Ives family came to New Haven, Connecticut in the 1600s.Harry Marks Ives married Agnes Toal, daughter of Irish potato famine immigrants and they moved to Kansas.

John Kennedy McGregor/MacGregor maybe 1880s(102 KB)Professor John K McGregor moved from Scotland to Wisconsin in 1857.He was a teacher in Lancaster, Eau Claire, and Waukesha.He also owned a shop in Mondovi his last few years.

Nellie, John, Sarah, and Charlotte MacGregor(61 KB)Sarah died in August 1901 and George married Charlotte in December 1901.Therefore, the photo was probably taken in 1900 or 1901 before Charlotte married into the family.Nellie is George's sister and John and Sarah are his parents.

Our MacGregor DNA Analysis(7 KB)One of our MacGregor males had his Y chromosome DNA tested for the MacGregor DNA project.Y chromosomes are passed unchanged from father to all sons with only a occasional mutation.The more alleles in common the more closely related are two individuals.We were most closely related to the current MacGregor clan chief.
